Marijuana Inc - WTF?

[Irving]

Too many if's for me though and I don't see anything that's going to change that. I still never plan to imbibe of the weed and pray my kids stay away from it and other mind altering drugs as well (yeah, that goes for alcohol too) but I’m not holding my breath.

The next time, and every time after that, that you think to yourself, "Wow, look at where this country has gotten to. I wonder how we let this happen?" I want you to come here and read your response as the answer.


It occured to me yesterday that these discussions are healthy to have as preparation for actual change. When people can discuss an actual change, and spend enough time thinking about a scenerio, that does not currently exist, until they can accept it in their minds, THEN they will be ready for actual change. Point being, if no one discussed legalization of marijuana (or other drugs) on a large scale, then it just happened one day; no one would be prepared and it wouldn't go well. These discussions, instead of them being viewed as beating a dead horse, allow people to get a feel for the situation in advance, by playing the "what if?" game.

If anyone is reading that last paragraph thinking, "well that's a stoner rant if I've ever heard one..." please don't. lol First, I'm no stoner. Second, if you look at all the revolutionary threads in the same light, you'll see what I mean. People have to talk about something a lot (as a society) before they will be able to accept the fact that it is possible. Just think, 7 years ago, if people started rising up against the government one day, it would have been out of left field that there would be no support from the masses and everyone would be taken by surprise. However, now I can't even log on to ANY type of internet forum without seeing threads talking about some sort of social disent to stand up for our rights. It's taken a LOT of talk about that possibility in order to start to accept that it is possible, not likely, but possible.

I just realized I went on a completely uneccessary rant. Sorry about that, don't let it derail the thread, I thought we were having a healthy discussion. I basically answered a question that was never asked.
